Dynamic MMap ran out of room
 
I did apt-get and this is the error message I got:

E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occurred while processing epiphany-gecko (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.


What do I do?

If you were running Debian, I'd say likely, you have made a mess out of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. I'm not sure how Mephis works.

Probably, the outputs of $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list and $ df -h will show the answer.

Someone will soon be along to tell you increase a cache size. That will probably work, but it's an ignorant hack.

The two commands are:
df -h
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Do not type the dollar sign $

There is a space between cat and /etc/apt/sources.list so the command is:
Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

No really, go buy a "Linux for Dummies" or similarly themed book. This isn't an insult to your intelligence, it's something you need to do because you do not even know the basics.

I have read all the pages you guys have suggested. And I still don't know what to do.
I'm beginning to read the book Running Linux. And that could take a while.

Your sources.list looks like crap. The non-us was obsoleted when Sarge was released. You should haven't both testing and unstable. God only knows why you have a mepis repo. The Marillat repo you have is wrong.

That would give her more repositories that she already has uncommented, so I don't think it will stop her system running out of room.

Why shouldn't she have testing and unstable? Well, probably because she doesn't know how to use it. I run testing preferred but have unstable available.

makuyl 12-28-2008 10:35 AM

Just do an "apt-get clean" for now and see with "df -h" if hda got more space.
Then raise the number for Cache-Limit in /etc/apt/apt.conf . # That's right, flame away.

The problem isnt that she is running put of actually space. Its that her sources.list is a mess.


Changing the sources.list to a correct one, then doing apt-get clean followed by apt-get update should be just fine.

If I can run Debian on my Eee that only has a 4gb ssd and only takes up a little over 1.2gb on the ssd, the number of sources isn't the problem, nor is actual physical space.

AlucardZero 12-28-2008 01:30 PM

How is it a mess? All she has enabled is testing, unstable, and mepis. All the rest are commented out, I fail to see how that makes it a mess.
